Models accounted for the National Health Interview Survey complex design and weights.

ASCVD = atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

a

Hazard ratio was estimated from Cox model with time-on-study as timescale. Model 1 was adjusted for baseline age; Model 2 was adjusted for baseline age, sex, ancestry, marital status, and educational attainment; Model 3 was additionally adjusted for smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, chronic condition, body mass index categories, and survey year.

b

Remaining life expectancy was calculated as the area under the standardized survival curve, estimated from flexible parametric survival models with attained age as timescale, adjustment for sex, ancestry, marital status, educational attainment, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, chronic condition, body mass index categories, and survey year.
